Exclusion from Automatic Revalidation of Certain Nonimmigrant Vi

The U.S. Government has undertaken a variety of efforts since September 11 to enhance border security. Anyone who has applied for and been refused visa issuance at a border post is prohibited from re-admission to the United States in the same visa category, even though they are in possession of a valid I-94 form. Aliens who are citizens of countries on the State Department's list of State Sponsors of Terrorism are prohibited from re-entering the U.S. using solely an I-94 form if their visa has expired.
